Unified Arabic is a typographic system designed by Nasri Khattar to simplify Arabic script by reducing letter variations for easier typing and learning, though it has not been widely adopted.
This paper presents a systematic study of cross-lingual transfer for biomedical machine translation into low-resource Arabic-script languages, using Arabic and Persian as pivots. The authors evaluate LoRA adapter merging as a zero-data transfer strategy, showing it works surprisingly well for closely related languages like Dari.
